The senior BJP leaders also appealed to the people of Jammu & Kashmir to wholeheartedly support the BJP in the next Assembly Elections in J&K to promote development, improve infrastructure and attain sustainable & lasting peace in the region.
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh, J&K BJP President Ravinder Raina, BJP National Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh Raina, former Dy CM Kavinder Gupta, BJP General Secretary (organization) Ashok Koul, Vice-President Sham Choudhary, General Secretaries Adv Vibodh Gupta, Dr. Devinder Kumar Manyal, former Minister Chander Prakash Ganga, Ashwani Sharma, Prof Gharu Ram, Baldev Singh Billawaria, vikram randhawa, Keshav, Ch Darshan Singh, Sunil Dutt, Rekha Mahajan, Dharminder, Vidhya Mottan, Surekha, Swarn Lata, Neelam and others addressed the rally.
G. Kishan Reddy, while addressing the rally, said that Jammu & Kashmir has faced many difficulties due to the Abdullah family and Pakistan. He said that they along with the skewed leadership of Congress arrested the development of J&K, and gave rise to separatism here.Today, under the strong leadership of PM Modi and HM Amit Shah a historic decision to abrogate Article 370 was taken. He said that Dr Shyama Prasad Mookherjee and others sacrificed their lives for Jammu & Kashmir and the whole nation has lived the struggle of Jammu & Kashmir.
The constitution of Dr Ambedkar was implemented in the rest of India but was not implemented in J&K and now the abrogation of Article 370 has marked the implementation of Constitution in J&K as well. It was a herculean task to hoist the national flag in Kashmir earlier, but now the national flag hoists with pride in every corner of Jammu & Kashmir including the Lal Chowk. The day of 05 August has marked the beginning of a new dawn of development in J&K.
Under the Modi government the focus has shifted to tourism from terrorism. No terrorism but tourism and development in Jammu & Kashmir and the Modi government will curb it to the last extent. Now democracy has strengthened; SCs, STs, OBCs, Pahris are given rights after the abrogation of Article 370, said Reddy.
Reddy further said that the Modi government avenged the killing of every single jawan. He stressed that the people have chosen the Modi government in the Parliament elections, and the people have decided to support the BJP in the upcoming Assembly elections and the Bharatiya Janata Party will form the next government in Jammu and Kashmir.
Tarun Chugh, in his address, said that on this day, the final tribute was paid to the ‘do vidhan, do nishan, do pradhan’ in the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir. He remembered the sacrifice of Dr Shyama Prasad Mookherjee and his arrest while entering J&K. He said that the BJP progressed with the pious thought of unifying the J&K with the rest of India in letter and spirit, which was achieved by the Modi government on 5th August 2019. Prime Minister Narendra Modi implemented the Constitution of India in Jammu and Kashmir as wished by Dr. BR Ambedkar. Today, our government of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Narendra Modi government is continuously working on these three issues of development, trust and security in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that nobody can now bring back 370, while mentioning the articulations of Abdullah and Mufti on the abrogation of Article 370. He also took a jibe that they both lost the elections in their bastion. He charged the then CM Dr Farooq Abdullah for the regrettable displacement of Kashmiris in the horrible circumstances. He also warned the people who ask for a repeat of 1990, that now Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of India who has the guts to deal with the iron hand. The rule of 3 families pushed J&K into the bloodshed. As long as even one BJP worker is alive, who follows Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, and Premnath Dogra, and who has respect for Tikka Lal ji, this nightmare of yours will neither be fulfilled nor will it be allowed to happen, Chugh told Abdullahs and Muftis.
Ravinder Raina, in his address, congratulated the people of Jammu & Kashmir on the anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 and remembered the contributions of Maharaja Hari Singh, Pt Prem Nath Dogra, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee and other greats. He said that on this auspicious day, the injustice with the WPRs, PoJK displaced and other communities was undone. Congress party did grave injustice to the communities of J&K like Valmiki, Gujjar-Bakerwal, OBCs, SCs, women of J&K. Due to this day, today the WPRs have got proprietary rights on the lands after 70 years.
He thanked the Modi government and the LG administration for the reformatory and development decisions for the betterment of the people. He mentioned the major development and infrastructure initiatives like road networks, AIIMS, IIT, IIIM, medical colleges, educational institutes and other major projects to boost the socio-economic development in the region. He labeled the Congress, NC, and PDP as the supporters of terrorists. He also appealed to the people of Jammu &Y Kashmir to vote in the favour of BJP in the upcoming Assembly elections to promote development and peace.

NEW DELHI: The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today recalled the Parliament's 5-year-old decision to abrogate Articles 370 and 35(A), calling it a watershed moment that led to a beginning of a new era of progress and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
Shri Modi posted on X:
"Today we mark 5 years since the Parliament of India decided to abrogate Articles 370 and 35(A), a watershed moment in our nation's history. It was the start of a new era of progress and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. It meant that the Constitution of India was implemented in these places in letter and spirit, in line with the vision of the great men and women who made the Constitution. With abrogation came security, dignity and opportunity for the women, youth, backward, tribal and marginalised communities who were deprived of the fruits of development. At the same time, it has ensured that corruption, which plagued J&K for decades, has been kept at bay.
I assure the people of J&K and Ladakh that our Government will keep working for them and fulfil their aspirations in the coming times."
